Responding to the mysterious incident, Amazon told The Verge that the couple's voice assistant seems to have overheard the conversation in a different room and misinterpreted some of the words as commands.

In the above statement, Amazon blamed Alexa for misinterpreting the background conversation as commands given to the smart speaker.

The speaker later heard "send message" during the conversation, at which point the device asked, "to whom?"

Amazon Alexa caught recording a private conversation and then forwarding it to a random person on contact list.

Alexa starts recording after hearing its name or another "wake word" chosen by users, meaning that even having a TV switched on can result in the device being activated. This was a conversation Danielle didn't know was being recorded.

This new launch will not only mark the Embassy Group's foray into a new housing segment, but it will also bring cutting-edge technology to all its homes using Amazon Echo devices.

Amazon's digital assistant Alexa has yet again goofed up in the age of digital. "These are potential surveillance devices, and we have invited them further and further into our lives without examining how that could go wrong".

Danielle then called Amazon and the company sent an Alexa engineer to investigate the matter. Amazon quickly fixed the vulnerability after researchers alerted the company.
